One of the prominent faces of the contemporary Congress Party, political leader Shashi Tharoor's life of late has been going through a lot of turmoil, both in his political and personal spheres. Tharoor has served as the Minister of State for External Affairs in 2009–2010 and Human Resource Development in 2012-2014. Since January this year he was the official spokesperson of the Congress party, but, however much articulate and respected his opinions may have been, he tended to sometimes go overboard.

Last month, allegedly after tweeting in favour of the Prime Minister Modi's campaign for a "Swachh Bharat", he was dropped as the party's spokesperson. However, he tried to make up for it by tweeting against on the PM Narendra Modi neglecting former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's death anniversary on October 31st 2014, in favour of marking Sardar Vallabhbhai's birth anniversary.

Earlier, Tharoor also served as an official at the United Nations for over two decades. Apart from politics, he has also been a prolific writer, having authored 14 books and writing columns for several national and international publications.

On the personal front, till recently, Tharoor was married to the socialite and businesswoman Sunanda Pushkar who was found dead in a Delhi luxury hotel in January, under mysterious circumstances. The suspicion still haunts Tharoor with a top AIIMS doctor saying that he was pressurised into giving a tailor-made report in Sunanda's death case.

For this or the other reason, Tharoor has continued to be in news, mostly for wrong reasons, and Ganesha with the help of Vedic astrology takes a peek at his future.
